You can put lipstick on a PIG: Mary Coughlan on BBC Hardtalk

[FakeViking]

Wow are you another one who gets a hard on when Donie is mentioned.

I've heard of sick perversions, but that one takes the biscuit.

"Yes we have had a structural difficulty in our economy, but no more so than any country in the world..."

[hammer]

Odie you may have missed the fact that we are nearly at 500,000 unemployed

The policies of your corrupt party have now come home to roost.

[Dodgy Bertie=Shady Mayor]

Indeed, but the one with Mary Robinson last evening was very interesting.

Accepted, it was.

[SideysGhost]

Really

Funny that for being out of her depth her experience was greater than Obama's hopey changey thing.

You FFers are obsessed with this "length of time clinging to office" thing.

Because that's all youse have - length of time clinging to office. I wouldn't call it "experience" because that to me implies that youse know what the f*** youse are doing and have learned something from clinging to office for years.

10 or 20 years of being an incompetent buffoon in a party of incompetent buffoons leading corrupt and incompetent governments that made a complete balls of everything is not a positive.

Just when you thought the Failers couldn't get any more Marie Antoinette - now they're claiming that mass unemployment is a good excuse to go on holiday.

This interview was evidently recorded before FF had to change tack in the wake of the revelation of the IMF analyst's comments: she says that they introduced NAMA

so that we can get banking back to what it should be doing, which is lending to business...

As for young people leaving Ireland well people do it for a variety of reasons, jobs, to travel round the world, stay with friends or family in another country or just because they see the idiot viewpoints are expressed by people like you and decide life is better anywhere else.

Emigration didn't cease 1997-2007, lots of young people left then and were happy to do so.

Ahh so people are leaving Ireland to stay with friends. I suppose that the 430k on the dole are just taking some reflective time. Unemployment did not cease either in 97-2007 you charlatan.

What a bad egg you are, as I have said before there is eating and feeding but you can't beat the bit of breeding.

What are you on about hard on's and Donie. If he heard you say that, he would laugh. He is surely aware how foolish he looks with that over sized merkin on his head. I just find the man repulsive, as do countless others. You are the one that always defends him, for some God only knows reason.

I hope no UK directors saw the interview. When they find out she is second in charge..............................
